LeBron James and the Dallas Mavericks have been linked in rumors since the beginning of the offseason, when James and the Los Angeles Lakers hinted at a different future. The Lakers appear to be fully leaning into their youth and development around Luka Doncic. While James remains on the team for the next season, he is obviously trying to win one last championship before calling it a career in the next season or two.
Despite rumors flooding every fan's timeline this summer, James and the Lakers have decided to put their differences aside until at least the trade deadline.
